Local variable protection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Are there any assurances that function local variables are protected from code calling the function?

For example, I would like to provide some cryptographic functions such as

function org_secure_string($string) {
	$org_key = "a very random key";
	return hash($string, $key);
}

function org_reveal_string($hash) {
	$org_key = "a very random key";
	return unhash($hash, $key);
}

I'd like to protect $org_key from any code following or using these functions.  I've not yet found a way that it can be revealed, but I wonder if anyone here can give me a definitive answer whether or not it is possible.
